I have a 479 that has the yoke ear broken off. Priced one at the dealer and figured for their cost I would try my hand at repairing it. Found a yoke to fit the cross, SKF UJ187305. I cut a portion off the bottom of the new yoke to get it closer to the height needed. I needed to retain the bushing that was in the yoke so I couldn't just cut off the old yoke and weld in the new one. I cut the ear off the old yoke and trimmed it down with cut off. I then turned down the old yoke on a lathe so the new would slip over the old. And this was the finished product. Not pretty but should do. Will see how it holds up this season.
Just wanted to share.
